Ben Affleck WON Best Actor Award
Ben Affleck left the Venice Film Festival early to beat the traffic and ended up missing out when he won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of TV Superman George Reeves in the film Hollywoodland.Â
He explains, “If I thought for a second that there were going to be awards for anybody, I would have stayed!”
Affleck, 34, admitted that he regrets some of his career choices, even the ones that were certifiable blockbusters.
He adds, “I’ve been in movies that earned a lot of money that… I wish I wasn’t in honestly. I was a little cavalier before, but having a child makes me think about things differently.
“I have to prove myself all over again, but I don’t mind that. Once I realized where things were going, I just said, ‘OK, let me make sure I’m in a place where I don’t have to worry about being on “Family Feud” for dough in five years and then I’ll just do what I can be proud of.’”
The actor says he reexamined his priorities after his daughter Violet (with wife Jennifer Garner, 34) was born last December.
“The only thing that matters to me is my daughter being able to be proud of her old man.”
